Pence had been scheduled to hold a roundtable on the opioid crisis in Salem that will now be rescheduled. An announcement was made on the loudspeaker that Air force Two had been diverted because of an emergency in DC but this is not the case.

A Representative from VP Pence’s office attending the event said, “We do have a situation where the vice president was called back to Washington.” Another spokesman specifically said Pence needed to go back to the White House.
